Let me start by saying that this is definitely one of my top five albums of 2009. I listen to this album at LEAST once a week, along with their previous releases of course. The album opener "All Hail" is one of the best damn songs ever written, period. That can also be said about the remaining 11 tracks. And I can definitely relate to the words of "Gracefully Facedown", you know, being from New Orleans and all. Seriously, if you have never heard these guys you are missing out. I was also lucky enough to catch them when they passed through NOLA at One Eyed Jack's and they were even better live. If you like traditional country music or any of the modern day outlaw/alt country acts then you must give these guys (and girl) a chance.

Hey man, great fuckin' post! Somebody turned me onto these guys' Myspace a while back and I loved it but couldn't get a cd so forgot all about them. Very cool band. You might have just opened a floodgate my brotha. This is my kinda shit and I've got tons of it. Comin' your way shortly. Awright.....

Would you like to contribute? Have your band on here? Just chat?

A message from swampchode:

I originally started this blog with the intent to create an archive of New Orleans/Louisiana based bands demo's, EP's, full lengths and live recordings. My primary focus was to feature a little bit of everything going on in this great city. There are many bands past and present that have never gotten the recognition that they (in my opinion) truly deserved.

So I figured why not start converting all these demo tapes and etc. and share them with the world? But as I kicked the idea around on a few message boards and with friends, I decided to not just limit the page to Louisiana.

So here you will find artists from all across the globe, some may be well known, others may not. Here at Nola 504 and More, the Krewe and myself all have very unique musical tastes, which I think helps our page really stand out.

Yes, we may feature a lot of metal, but we also have punk, country, jazz, rockabilly, etc. Musical "gumbo" so to speak; meaning a little bit of everything. So, if you are/were in a band from Louisiana, or anywhere else in the world, and care to share it with the rest of the world, drop one of us an email. We'd love to check it out!
